Indeed, direct access to /dev/tun requires root privileges. However, Android has a VPN API that allows an app to request a tun interface, and configure it. The filedescriptor for this interface can then be handed to tincd. Unfortunately, this API is Java-only, so this is not something that can easily be called from tinc's C codebase. That said, have a look at this Android app that probably does what you want: http://tincapp.pacien.org/ -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[email protected]>
